•Large, easy-to-use format
•Easily characterize and compare over 300 moss species
•High-definition composite images, ecological diagrams, habitat keys, and a visual glossary
•Accompanying large-scale foldout charts also available

A complete online archive of images and articles, including digital atlases, is available at northernforestatlas.org.
